Visiting Rajasthan and want to see something beyond the usual forts and palaces? Our Shekhawati tour for foreign tourists takes you from Jaipur to a region of painted merchant mansions, small bazaars and quiet fort towns. You travel in a private AC car with a driver, with pick-up from your hotel or the airport, and you get a clear written quote before you confirm.

Shekhawati lies in north-east Rajasthan, roughly 170 km from Jaipur. Rich trading families built havelis here in the 18th to early 20th centuries and covered the walls with frescoes of gods, epics, festivals and even trains and British officers. Nawalgarh and Mandawa are the two towns most visitors choose. They sit about 30 km apart, so they fit well into a single day or a relaxed two-day trip.

Most visitors from abroad prefer a private Shekhawati tour by car because public transport between the small towns is limited and timings are hard to plan. With your own vehicle and a driver, you can stop for photos, spend longer at a haveli you like, and skip places that do not interest you. We offer a one day plan and a 2 days plan with a night in Mandawa, and both can be adjusted to your flight dates and hotel in Jaipur.

Every quote for a Shekhawati day trip from Jaipur depends on your vehicle, route and number of days. This page is for car hire with a driver. Haveli tickets, guides, meals and hotels are not part of the car fare, so mention them in your enquiry if you want help planning around them.

Details on our Shekhawati Tour for Foreign Tourists:

1. About the Shekhawati Tour for Foreign Tourists

Shekhawati is often called an open-air art gallery because so many buildings are painted inside and out. This Shekhawati tour for foreign tourists is built for travellers who want to see that art in comfort and without planning every transfer. We pick you up in Jaipur, drive you to Nawalgarh and Mandawa, and bring you back at the time you choose.

2. Why Visitors from Abroad Choose a Private Car

A private car suits this region for a few simple reasons:

• Public buses between the small towns are infrequent, so a car saves hours
• You decide how long to stay at each haveli instead of following a group schedule
• Pick-up and drop-off are at your hotel, airport or railway station in Jaipur
• Your driver knows the road, the halts and the best lunch stops
• The fare is fixed per vehicle, so it is easy to split between friends or family

3. Places You Can Visit in Shekhawati

• Nawalgarh: Founded in 1737, it has the Dr. Ramnath A. Podar Haveli Museum (built in 1902), Morarka Haveli and the Aath Haveli group near the old fort. The Podar museum alone can take 1 to 2 hours.
• Mandawa: A fort town with lanes of painted havelis, including Goenka, Chokhani Double Haveli and Murmuria. Many are private homes, so some interiors stay closed, but the outer walls are the main attraction.
• Dundlod: A smaller town close to Nawalgarh with a fort and a Goenka haveli, added on the 2-day plan.
• Fatehpur: Another painted town on the way south, good for a quieter walk with fewer visitors.

4. Shekhawati Tour for Foreign Tourists Itinerary – One Day

Timings are approximate and depend on traffic and how long you stay at each stop.

5. Shekhawati Tour for Foreign Tourists Itinerary – Two Days

• Day 1: Jaipur to Nawalgarh for the main havelis, a stop at Dundlod, then on to Mandawa for an evening walk and an overnight stay in a heritage hotel.
• Day 2: Early walk in Mandawa, a visit to Fatehpur, and a relaxed drive back to Jaipur in the afternoon.

Hotel stays are booked separately. If you want a heritage hotel or a horse ride in the villages, tell us in advance and we will plan the route around it.

6. Choosing the Right Vehicle and Understanding the Fare

Choose the vehicle by group size. A Swift Dzire suits 1 to 3 travellers, an Ertiga or Innova Crysta suits 4 to 6, and a Tempo Traveller suits 7 to 17. At our listed rate of ₹10–12 per km, a 350 km sedan trip comes to roughly ₹3,500–₹4,200. An Ertiga or Innova Crysta at ₹18–20 per km comes to roughly ₹6,300–₹7,000. Tolls, parking and any night halt are shown separately in your written quote, so you know the full amount before you confirm.

7. Practical Tips for Foreign Visitors

October to March is the most comfortable season, and a cultural festival is held in Shekhawati in February. In summer, temperatures often cross 40°C. A few simple steps make the day smoother:

• Keep a copy of your passport with you and tell us your hotel name when you book
• Carry rupees in cash for haveli tickets, snacks and tips, since small towns have fewer ATMs
• Start by 6:30 am so you reach Nawalgarh before the day heats up
• Wear comfortable shoes and cover your shoulders and knees at temples
• Ask us about an English-speaking local guide if you want the stories behind the frescoes
